Why am I overweight?
Medical conditions
If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, it is possible that this could cause weight gain. Chat to your doctor if you need to find out if this applies to you and what you can do to help control your weight gain.
Medication
Certain medications may also lead to weight gain. Consult your doctor if you are concerned about your weight gain due to medications that you are taking.
Out of control
Dr Phil, world renowned clinical psychologist and host of the popular TV show, Dr. Phil, says that if you are overweight, then you could be âout of control with your impulses, daily schedule or life. You may need to evaluate your behaviours, anticipate your personal challenges and restore balanceâ, in your life.
Seek professional advice from a psychologist if you feel that you have a personal problem that is affecting your weight or if a life experience is leading you to turn to food as a means of comfort.
